WASHINGTON, D.C.–Hispanic Leadership Fund president Mario H. Lopez issued the following statement following passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the U.S. House of Representatives:
“The Hispanic Leadership Fund applauds Members of Congress who have taken an important step toward much needed reform of our tax system. Lower rates for the middle-class, more jobs, and increased economic opportunity are important goals that give working families the opportunity to pursue the American dream.
“We look forward to seeing the same kind of progress with the U.S. Senate as they prepare to debate similar legislation.”
